Wetlands are one of the most valuable ecosystems on Earth. They store three times more carbon than terrestrial forests, improve water quality, and are home to a diversity of species. Wetland Wander is an art and science collaboration that aims to inspire engagement in the environmental, cultural and aesthetic value of these critical ecosystems.
Led by wetland ecologist Fernanda Adame, sound artist Leah Barclay, walking/media artist James Cunningham, and multimedia artist Suzon Fuks, Wetland Wander incorporates knowledge from current and traditional landowners within Quandamooka (Moreton Bay), and Nywaigi, Gulgnay and Girramay countries (Queensland, Australia).
Explore these valuable ecosystems in this immersive 360-degree duel channel video projection that features 3D soundscapes, as you are taken on a walk through these wetland habitats and flown into species' niches.
Redland Performing Arts Centre will host this immersive display from September 16 to 28. The exhibition will be open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturdays from 10am to 1pm in the RPAC auditorium. Entry is free and no bookings are required.
There will also be a floor talk from the artists who developed the exhibition at 6.30pm on September 20 as well as free workshops for teens and children on September 23. To RSVP for the floor talk or workshops, visit www.rpac.com.au or phone 3829 8131. Places are limited for these free activities.
